I found one last summer in Nanaimo, then hesitated and it was gone. Boohoo. Bought a truck instead and am not a "happy camper." Questions I h ave. would be about winter driving. It's fairly rigged where i am, sioux lookout, on. A lot of snow this winter, and -30 weather. So clearance 4wd,...

Good morning,
I would like to change my hatch strut for heavy duty model that it could to lift extra weight, like a spare tire, bike, ladder ect.. My first idea was to build a swing out spare tire carrier. I already started to build my swing out but, it will add a lot of weight. And went I will tow...

Have a look at this thread. Some good info in it with dimensions.

I suggest you contact Frank at and tell him what you're looking to do. He knows his stuff and does good work. Lots of people (including me) on here have had him do their struts and are happy.

Just changed the fuel filter on my 2nd gen, L400 and am thankful for the info posted on the site.
To be clear, I sourced the filter from Napa in North Van and it was $12.76 tax in and is found as Napa/wix part # 23128
Filter was a perfect swap and included a new O-ring for the water drain/sensor at...

Since my Strada was not unique enough and since I was looking for a new work truck, I just secured a Toyota Townace! This will replace my aging, hard working and faithful Hijet.

The Toyota is bigger, more comfortable to drive and has a power tailgate which will be...

Truck should be arriving on February 20th. Ben from Fraser Valley Imports (great guy to work with-shout out!) is going to pick it up from the port and store it until I fly in. Then a long drive back to Winnipeg. I looked for a Toyota diesel forum but no luck, I may have to bore you all with the...

Just a quick run-down on changing the glow plugs, since I went through a bit of a learning curve to do this (my first time).
I was having problems starting over the last week - the first time I thought just the shifter was not completely set into park, but the second time, just one glow...

OK. Well I'm pretty certain I figured out my problem after testing my glow plugs with some jumper cables.

I had two plugs functional, and two plugs not. Unfortunately I connected the positive clamp to the wrong area of the glow plug and got some sparks and welding action and damaged the ceramic...

Hey folks,
1992 L300 manual. Suddenly Fuel gauge, temp gauge, tach, signals, not working. Dash lights work, headlights work. I was having some kind of grounding or shorting issue: the negative battery terminal would spark and even flame at startup. (I've got a WVO system with lots of electrical...

I'm sort of of the mind that since it's working with a 25a fuse to just leave it alone. I've already spent a lot of time on this and might move on. Unless y'all are really itching for resolution?
Thanks for all the help. All the folks in this thread are delica.ca vets. I was very active in here in...

I've just finished upgrading to dual piston brakes and new lines. I've got a question for whoever has done this job using the Russell 7" long steel brake lines: My upper line is very long compared to the original rubber one and touches the frame. I assume over time it might cause the line to...

When I have a moment I'll check mine as I did not cover mine with anything.

How do the brakes feel?

Spongy as usual but a noticeably quicker response to stopping. Pads haven't bedded either so hopefully it gets better. I'll have to bleed them again and...

Thinking we'll do a run of 8 of them, if anyone is interested let me know, and what kind of transmission, AT or Manual. also if anyone has input on what material, alu vs steel, and what thickness you'd want, hopefully we can use...

Hey Mr. Sa,

Just checking in again to see if you were ever able to make those skid plates?

Well it's official. I've broken my 2nd drivers side rear view mirror on my '93 L300!! Both times it was from attempting to scrape off the freezing rain from the mirror. Don't get me wrong, I love winter. The freezing cold temperatures. The treacherous driving conditions, The hard starts in the...

After pursuing just about every thread I could find on the subject I feel that I have a question worth asking, as I am trying to narrow down what has become a rather annoying problem.

I have a completely rebuilt 4D56T engine in my '90 L300 that runs near perfect, once it's hot....

Hi everyone-

Happy to update this post to say everything seems to be working great now. I installed new plugs and the van fires right up in the morning as it should. I did not bench test the old ones yet, but it was definitely the problem! I've attached a few photos of the plugs, as well as the...
